The Indie Craft Experience is one of favorite craft organization/events in Atlanta co-founded by our very own Shannon Mulkey and creator of a bardis Christy Petterson! This is their second year doing a holiday pop-up shop, and it is one of the best places to do all of your holiday shopping in one spot. Nestled in the back of Criminal Records Atlanta, you can find handmade gifts from mostly local artists (if not local, the rest are domestic — handmade in the USA!) while having an abundance of gifts for the music/comic book lover in your life in the Criminal Records shop. They’re only open a few more days (through Christmas Eve) and they’re having a great event this Thursday filled with boozy hot cocoa, treats from Bookie Macarons (YUM!), and tote bag giveaways printed by Fallen Arrows and designed by Sarah Watts of Wattsalot.

In October 2010, the Stitch + Wire team gathered for the first time for a craft at the Day of the Dead show at Young Blood Gallery + Boutique in Atlanta.
